Great for these types of students

If you are a student who is looking for a great future and is willing to do the necessary work for four years to achieve your goals, this college will be great for you. If you're interested in a lot of peer-to-peer and teacher/student interaction, Lock Haven offers nothing short of that. They have promised all of their students as much support as can possibly be administered not only before and during school, but afterwards as well when you are ready to pursue a job in your field.

Tips for prospective students

If Lock Haven ranks among your top choices for college, I strongly encourage you continue to research each college and visit them as well. Choosing a college will be much easier for schools that you have both visited and researched.

Bang for the buck

College isn't cheap, I think everyone could agree on that for the most part. However, I will say that Lock Haven ranks among the most affordable considering what they have to offer.

Will enjoy being here

Campus life seems to be very welcoming. With many different clubs, organizations, on-campus jobs, and other opportunities for students, I can't see myself losing interest in my education or stay on campus at Lock Haven.

Will learn a lot

After visiting campus, I am nearly 100% satisified with the available programs. In addition to the available programs, Lock Haven offers a small, yet welcoming campus with fewer than average class sizes compared to other colleges and universities. Small class size gives more student/teacher interaction that will assist in the learning process.

Taylor from Dornsife, PA

Well I don't exactly know what these types of students would prefer, but I do recommend that English majors consider this school, there are some really cool professors here!

Tips for prospective students

Join clubs and don't be afraid to go out and try different activities. There is so much to do academically, but Lock Haven also provides so much to do extracurricularly. Don't be afraid to talk to people and make friends, it will help make your experiences the best years of your lives!

Am enjoying being here

For me, the saving grace was joining a club that required it's members to come in a week or two before school actually started. It helped me to make friends and learn how to make my way around campus. But even after school started, the school made it an enjoyable experience by making sure that there is plenty to do.

Am learning a lot

After coming straight off of high school I didn't exactly know what to expect from college, but Lock Haven certainly set the bar high. Yes, there are a few professors who are just there to earn a paycheck, but there are also those who love what they do and are excited to teach it to you.

Jamie from Kane, PA

Lock Haven University is great for anybody who is used to a small town lifestyle and smaller class sizes.

Tips for prospective students

Dont' let the bland website fool you! Lock Haven is really an exciting place full of great, small-town people and a high quality education.

Bang for the buck

I can honestly say that Lock Haven University, being one of the Pennsylvania State Schools, is one of the cheapest institutions in Pennsylvania that offers a high quality education that will help its students compete in the job market.

Am enjoying being here

It being summer, I cannot wait until I return for the fall. The friends I have met there will definitely be so for my entire life, and the community is outstanding. A small town filled with natural beauty and kind people, Lock Haven provides a hometown feeling with its local restaurants, stores, and activities. Campus is clean, very safe, and very welcoming!

Am learning a lot

Classes at Lock Haven University seem to be top notch; the professors are caring and experienced in their fields, program administrators are courteous and more than willing to help with anything, and the subject matter is in depth with no cut corners. The professors are not only approachable, but they will approach their students with great opportunities, academic or not.

Campus Safety

Being in the shadier parts of campus can be scary, especially for a female. Speaking as a male myself, I recognize how scary it might be walking alone at night. There are frequent patrols of police cars, and emergency buttons around campus, however.

Greek Life

The Greek Life is pretty active on campus, staging barbecues and clean-up event often.

Clubs and Activities

Such a wide variety is offered, and one can easily start their own.

Great for these types of students

Self-reliant, Able to learn by looking at a textbook, education majors.

Bang for the buck

The school's in-state tuition is so low that it is worth it to go to, especially if you wish to study education. For a hard science or art, however, you may wish to consider other options.

What to do for fun

At LHU, there are plenty of clubs and organizations to join (The website has a full list!) and it is easy to start your own. There is a state-of-the-art fitness center including a climbing wall. Other than those things, there is absolutely nothing to do. The town is an old mining town, and now the only thing keeping it alive is the university.

Food and Dining

The primary eatery on campus is Bentley Hall. The quality of food there is about equal to a typical high school menu. They do taste good, but they can bring even the most hardened bellies to their end. Not all is bad, however. The deli offers fresh lunch meats that never disappoint in a wrap or sandwich. At breakfast, there is a grill where one can order a freshly made omelet. Sometimes at dinner there are home-made meals made in the Home zone section. These meals are a guessing game for your taste buds.If all else fails, there is always a cereal buffet.

Dorm Life

I live in Smith Hall and I like it well enough. The good things about it include the following: Closeness to classes, aesthetics, friendly staff. If these were the only important factors of living, I would be in paradise, but there is more to living standards than nice people. The internet connection is a hassle to set up and is atrociously slow. The floors and ceilings are not sound insulated, and there is no way to keep cool in the summer. The worst thing about living on campus is the cargo train that rolls by at all hours of the day and night with it's screaming horn.

Academic Rigor

I am very disappointed with Lock Haven's chemistry program. Though it is certified by the American Chemical Society, it does not teach as thoroughly as I wish it would. I have, however, only completed one year of their courses though. For me, the classes are not rigorous enough. The math department has also failed to give me the education I desire. I am in calculus two and my section is the only section being taught. One class of 45 students makes it difficult to compare relative position in the curriculum, but as stated by the syllabus, we are three sections behind where we should be.

Tips for prospective students

Attending Lock Haven for teaching or physical education is a great idea. The teachers are likable, the campus is nice, and the residence halls are pretty comfortable (except for when it's really hot). Try to get into Smith or Woolridge halls, as they are newer and are close to all of the buildings where classes are taught. One of the most important things about college is being able to occupy your time with something constructive; doing so at Lock Haven is difficult at times. Outside of the fitness center and school-affiliated programs and clubs (which are plentiful) there is absolutely nothing to do. The town is culturally barren and the nearest attractions are in state college thirty minutes away.

In three sentences

Lock Haven University has an aesthetically pleasing campus and infrastructure. In terms of academics, there is more to be desired; the math department in it's entirety is awful, but the sciences are mostly well taught. The only qualm I have with the sciences is that some sections of the textbook for a given class are not covered.

Campus Safety

LHU security fits the needs of the students well. We have blue light buttons that contact campus security in every dorm and building on campus, we have ID scanners that will only work on IDs of that particular dorm, our campus security is always mobile, and we are in a small town with a very low crime rate. Students are extremely safe here at LHU!

Greek Life

Greek Life is always an exciting part of our college, we have a variety of sororities and fraternities that always work hand in hand to make the school a better place!

Clubs and Activities

We have over 100 clubs and activities as well as Greek life! If you want to make a club of your own the University gives you an opportunity to do just that! Just get involved, it makes college THAT much better!

Great for these types of students

Lock Haven is perfect for the inquisitive learner. With small class sizes and an at home feel, students feel less pressure to compete with peers and feel more at ease to ask questions.

Bang for the buck

Lock Haven University is just what every college should be. High quality AFFORDABLE education. It's absolutely the perfect place to be for a great learning experience without burning a hole in your pocket!

What to do for fun

With a large range of clubs and activities, there's always something fun to do at LHU! Not a club person? We have a movie theater and stores to shop around in downtown Lock Haven. If you're more the outdoorsy type we have the Susquehanna right beside campus, an excellent place for hiking, fishing, or just a stroll along the Levee. We also have the Rec center which is open every day, student can play a variety of sports, work out or climb our 30 ft rock wall for fun!

Food and Dining

Bentley has great food! With a wide variety of different items a student can find just about whatever's appealing to their appetite! Also, the Starbucks in Lower Bentley is a great place if you need a pick-me-up or nice place to study.

Dorm Life

Dorm life at LHU is my favorite part about school! This is where you meet your friends that will become you're life long companions! Everyday is made brighter by your floor mates and you'll start to see them less as peers and more as family throughout the year!

Academic Rigor

Lock Haven University takes great pride in its ability to educate young men and women and prepare them for their future in the real world. The smaller class sizes give students more of an opportunity to learn and the brilliance of the faculty enhances the experience further. As a student, one will feel strong in their education here at LHU.

Tips for prospective students

A few tips for prospective students would be to apply early so you have a higher chance of acceptance and try and have an interesting application because the Admissions office looks at thousands of applications a year, be sure you have something special in there that sparks their interest!

In three sentences

Lock Haven Unversity is a diverse learning environment filled with knowledgable and respectable faculty and staff. It is less like an educational facility and more like a home filled with friendly students who will become your best friends! LHU, or as we say, The Haven is also great because of its smaller class sizes which help students maintain focus as well as various clubs and organizations to become involved in!

Jessica from Altoona, PA

Do stuff outside. Take advantage of the small campus, meet new people, and float down the dike.

Food is great when people are touring. On other days it's alright.

Dorm Life

I met awesome people in my dorm and others. The activities are fun and it's a great way to make friends.

Academic Rigor

I started as a teaching major, so I've taken courses mainly focusing on that. In that aspect the classes and teachers are wonderful.

Tips for prospective students

Get involved. If you stay in your dorm the whole time you won't enjoy your time there.

In three sentences

Lock Haven has a beautiful campus that is both small and rewarding. The class sizes are suitable for my needs and the teachers are great for the most part. I wasn't sure how I would like Lock Haven, but it's become my home; I'm on vacation right now and I cannot wait to go back.

Bang for the buck

It's SOOOO Affordable! There were many schools that I was interested in attending but realistically they were too expensive. Lock Haven is incredibly expensive for Out-of state-ers and I'm thankful for that!

Will enjoy being here

I come from New York City, the big apple, the tourist attraction of the world, but when I visited Lock Haven U. I felt like none of that even mattered. I loved the environment; the small town feel made me want to stay their forever. I can't wait to pack up my things and start the next chapter of my life in Lock Haven, PA.

Great for these types of students

The campus is located in a cute small town. The professors, from what I have seen at my visit, are friendly and know what they are talking about. The atmosphere has a family feel to it. You will have no problems fitting in here.

Nicholas from Moon Township, PA

for the most part, the campus safety is generally helpful. they are mostly looking to write tickets and bust parties. if you have a problem, you have to go to them, they will not go to you.

Clubs and Activities

clubs are the best place for students to meet, socialize and find new things to do around the college with little to no cost out of the students pocket.

Bang for the buck

with most colleges prices sky-rocketing, and degree from lock haven is as good as any with a low, affordable price. also, programs such as study abroad can help students travel for the same price as tuition.

What to do for fun

there's always movies and performances being played for free at the school auditorium. along with social gathering and student projects for people to participate. also, school funded clubs are always holding activities or outings for all students.

Food and Dining

the food is good and always getting better. there is a large selection of food for the carnivores and the vegetarians. also, most of the food is health conscience with low fats and oils if you know where to go for your food.

Dorm Life

quiet, most people who live in the dorms respect the rules set my the hall directors and ras. the rooms are spacious and comfortable. depending on what hall your reside in, you may have a distance to walk to class.

Academic Rigor

go to class, take notes, and the tests will come easy. also, the more prior experience you have the better, lock haven courses can vary but for the most part they are more in depth lectures of previous lessons taught in previous academic settings.

Tips for prospective students

In three sentences

Holly from Pitman, NJ

there really isnt a whole lot to do on campus and in town, but they do show movies and if you like nature it is a beautiful place to go.

What to do for fun

There are plenty of fun things to do. There is the recreation center which consists of an indoor track, a weight room, basketball, volleyball, and racquetball courts, and a rock wall. Also there is a river which is a beautiful scenery area which is also a great swimming, kayaking, or fishing area.

Food and Dining

There is no complaints on my behalf about the food services. There are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to dining.

Dorm Life

I've lived in the dorms every year so far. It is a great way to meet new people and the student practically makes a new family.

Academic Rigor

The professors are always eager to help the students. The work can get tough at times; however, it will show a new side of school most people don't know by challenging the student to open his/her mind.

Tips for prospective students

Keep an open mind. LHU looks small and calm but when classes start everything is up and buzzing and there is never a boring moment.

In three sentences

LHU is extremely friendly and welcoming. LHU will be forever part of my life because of my amazing experiences. LHU is beautiful and small, but there's always something to do.

Richard from South Abington Township, PA

Students that want an education that big universities like Penn State offer, but enjoy a smaller campus should consider their school choice as one of their primary options.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

In the basement of Russell Hall, there is a ghost of a former student named Mary that sometimes appears.

What to do for fun

For fun, there are a number of clubs and organizations to join. Two that I joined were Art as a Fashion and Fine Arts Society. Both of these clubs not only provided me with entertainment, but also helped me make new friends. Also, Price Auditorium provides a wide range of movies, comedy skits, concerts, etc. that are fun to watch and get together with friends.

Food and Dining

There is a wide variety for food choices. Bentley (the food services building) provides a buffet on the top floor and a few convenient food areas on the bottom floor (including a Starbucks). The breakfasts served in Upper Bentley are especially mouthwatering in my perspective.

Dorm Life

The Dorms at Lock Haven University are a relatively friendly environment. However, it can be a little hard to sleep if you are on a noisy floor (even at 2 in the morning. All the dorms on campus also provide students with fun activities like Pie the RA or holiday parties and provide gaming rooms for activities.

Academic Rigor

Depending on the amount of studying and working outside the classroom, the courses can be relatively easy, based on my experience. However, if you are taking studio arts classes (which involve putting together art pieces), it can involve a lot of effort outside the classroom to get a descent grade.

Tips for prospective students

Incoming students should try to get plenty of sleep at a reasonable bedtime. This will not only provide a steady sleep cycle so that colds and other sicknesses do not start, but also help students resist the temptation of missing classes. Missing too many classes can eventually grow to undesirable consequences. So, students should be extra sure to attend as many classes as possible. Also, eating healthy choices of food will help provide stamina for class activities and exams. Drinking coffee or other beverages with caffeine beverages at the beginning of the day will help you have energy to begin your school day, but do not try energy drinks. Lastly, try hanging around people that have the same major as you or are in a majority of your classes. This will provide an opportunity to solve potential homework problems and possibly help make the journey a little less difficult.

In three sentences

Lock Haven University is a beautiful school in Central Pennsylvania which is great for students, like myself, who enjoy a relatively small college. The small class sizes allow easy one on one contact with teachers. I would rate this school a 4.5 out of 5.

Campus Safety

The campus at Lock Haven is very safe. In such a small community, we do not see crime rates that we do in big cities. By the residence halls, there is a Campus Safety building where officers are always on duty. If you have any problems, want to report a crime, or just need a ride from town, they are just a phone call away. Also, there are squad cars patrolling the campus to ensure that everything is safe for the students of LHU.

Greek Life

At Lock Haven, there are several Greek organizations. After successfully completing a full semester, students have the opportunity to join a sorority or fraternity. Contrary to the media's portrayal, our Greeks are not what most are rumored to be. Every group has an affiliation with some charity or worthy cause. Throughout the year, the group raises money and awareness for their cause. Greek organizations are meant to help the community, and create friendships that will last forever.

Clubs and Activities

Going into my second year at LHU, I am still discovering more clubs to join and activities to be a part of. There are clubs here for everyone! Some of the many include: Math, Fly-fishing, French and other languages, the Gay-Straight Alliance, religious groups, clubs for every major and concentration, the Sophisticated Ladies, and countless others. You don't have to look hard to find a club you will love at LHU.

Great for these types of students

Lock Haven is a wonderful place for all types of students. Whether you are a star athlete, a video gamer, or focused solely on your studies, there are other students, interested in the same things. With hundreds of clubs to join, you can meet people with similar interests and goals for their college experience. Unlike high school, LHU students do not judge or discriminate others. People here are friendly and accepting of everyone.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

If you are looking for something to do, nearly every Friday and Saturday night, a movie is played in the Price Auditorium. If you want somewhere to go for a quiet walk, you can head over to the levy. Right alongside the Susquehanna River, the levy is a direct route from campus to downtown Lock Haven with a great view of the surroundings.

Bang for the buck

Lock Haven is one of the least expensive colleges in all of Pennsylvania. With all of the great amenities you can enjoy as a student, it is definitely worth your money. The academic programs are phenomenal and there is always something to do for everyone. Out of all the universities I visited, you get the most Bang for your Buck at LHU!

What to do for fun

If you are finished with homework, and want to have some fun, Lock Haven always has something to do. The Student Recreation Center has an indoor track, three basketball courts, three racquetball courts, stationary bikes and elliptical machines, and a fully furnished weight room. There is also a full-sized, indoor pool right on campus! If you aren't feeling like a workout, you can go to the Parson's Union Building. They have billiard tables, ping-pong, and even the latest video games. LHU also has clubs to join for every hobby you can think of!

Food and Dining

If you are hungry in Lock Haven, you have a ton of options! From the cafe to the grill, and the deli to Starbucks, you will never get bored with your food. The most popular place to eat is Upper Bentley. For only $4.60, or one meal swipe, you can enjoy an unlimited buffet of home-cooked meals! They have a salad bar, breakfast bar, and dessert bar all day long. They also have plenty of vegetarian choices. The food on campus is way better, cheaper, and healthier than fast food!

Dorm Life

Lock Haven University has many options for student housing. There are suites, on-campus apartment complexes, and traditional dorms. In dorms, students are usually paired with one other, by gender, and they share a single room. The dorms are spacious and well furnished, but there is room for personal furniture and decor. Every floor has a large, shared bathroom, and every residence hall has a kitchen and study areas. Best of all, if you have any trouble with school, or even personal situations, your resident assistants are great people to talk to.

Academic Rigor

There is nothing expected of LHU students except their very best effort. The coursework is challenging, but it ensures that you learn the material. With good study habits, and a little hard work, anyone can succeed in their classes. Also, the professors, faculty, and friendly students are always there to help you with anything you need.

Tips for prospective students

If you are searching for the right university for you, I recommend Lock Haven. The courses here provide many opportunities to succeed in life. Aside from school work, there are always activities being put on by students and local businesses. You will never be bored at Lock Haven!

In three sentences

Lock Haven University is a beautiful campus with plenty of academic and athletic opportunities for everyone. From health sciences to theatre and even criminal justice, LHU has nearly every major a student could want. On top of a mountain, the views are spectacular, but campus is only a short walk away from town, where there is always something to do!

Khalil from Lock Haven, PA

I am currently not in one but I constantly hear cool things about every club. I am thinking about joining the poetry club.

Bang for the buck

You get what you pay for and more. You get college and passion. Every aspect of the college life is ran with passion and determination for success. Teachers are very understanding, flexible to students, and passionate about what they teach.

What to do for fun

Join clubs, go to the recreation center. Hang out and meet new people.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure you research your school and go there because you want to go there. Have no fear and believe in your future.

In three sentences

Lock Haven is a great school to get your college education. It is gives you the perfect blend of small college and unlimited opportunities. Lock Haven has an awesome atmosphere that promotes success.

What to do for fun

There are an abundance of clubs to join as well as many school sanctioned activities like magic shows, free movies, comedians, and even hypnosis presentations. Not to mention the Friday and Saturday night parties.

Food and Dining

I ABSOLUTELY love the food here at LHUP. And there is a wide variety of choices. You can get burgers, cheese steaks, wraps, southern food, Indian food, smoothies, Starbucks, and anything else you can think of.

Dorm Life

I live in McEntire Hall and I love it. People are very friendly and there are little to no confrontations. The showers are cleaned everyday and normally there is always something to do in your dorm. Many RA's plan activities for the night and more often than your use to it involves pizza.

Academic Rigor

Academics at LHUP are very important. They offer plenty of tutoring if you need it and a 24 hour library for intensive studying. The even offer food for finals when finals week rolls around.

Tips for prospective students

Be ready for the rain and cold. Lock Haven has very unpredictable weather that can go from cold in the morning to very hot in the afternoon to raining in the sunniest of days.

In three sentences

Lock Haven University is great for every type of student. Those who want to attend a small school, receive personalized learning, and experience the college life. On top of that, its VERY inexpensive!

What to do for fun

There are always activities to do on campus. The sports teams are always playing and there are guest speakers all the time also. There is also the REC center where you can go play games with all friends and even get involved with intermurals.

Food and Dining

The food here is actually very good. There is a buffet style dining upstairs that offers many great food options. Also, there is a lower dining hall that is more like a restaurant type thing that is grab and go but very good.

Dorm Life

The dorms are nice here, some are a little small and cramped. The new suites are very nice but a little more expensive. The regular dorms are livable and are not that bad at all.

Academic Rigor

The academics at this school are great. If you are happening to struggle with any classes the teachers are more than welcome to help you. There are also many tutoring services and help centers that can help you do many things also.

Tips for prospective students

If you are an incoming student, be sure to make friends as soon as possible. Be very sociable and dont be afraid to talk to anyone because they are very welcoming and inviting.

In three sentences

Lock Haven University has one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever seen. There are so many things that can be done on campus and off also. The people are very friendly and make you feel at home also.

April from Lake Ariel, PA

Campus safety is very good but very picky. If you have a car on campus make sure you have the parking pass up at all times or they will give you a ticket. But overall they are very good.

Clubs and Activities

There is a variety of clubs and activities here. There is a club for almost everything. Make sure to join a few so you don't end up bored.

Great for these types of students

Lock Haven is great for all types of students.

What to do for fun

There isn't to much to do around here for fun. You basically have to be able to make your own fun. Walking around town is nice even though it is very small but the movie theater is cheap.

Food and Dining

The food here doesn't taste very well. They do have a good variety of foods but if you have special needs for example you are a vegan you have to talk to the dietitian because there are barely any choices of food that you would be able to eat. Lower Bently has fast food type areas and I would say that the food in lower is a lot better then the food in Upper Bently which is the cafeteria style eating.

Dorm Life

Three of the dorms MacEntire Hall, North Hall, and High hall are all up 180 steps and it takes a lot of energy to reach them. But over all the dorms here are nice, they have a good sized room and a lounge in all of the dorms. Heating in the winter is good but there is no air conditioning in the summer unless you live in the suites so make sure you have a fan.

Academic Rigor

The academics here are very good. The professors will help you if you ask. Unlike a lot of other colleges the class size is very decent and acceptable unless you like large classes. But overall you will learn a lot here.

Tips for prospective students

My tips for prospective students would be to make sure you do well on your SATs. While you're in college make sure you make time to study and always do your work because most professors do not take late work. Become organized and manage your time wisely.

In three sentences

Lock Haven has a nice small campus. Lock Haven has decent class sizes. You get a good education at Lock Haven.

Abigail

I always feel very safe on campus, even at night. There are lights everywhere and since it's a a small town, I'm not worried about walking around by myself.

Food and Dining

The dining hall doesn't have the greatest food but there are lots of choices to pick from. There is a Starbucks on campus and it is always packed, but well worth it!

Dorm Life

The dorms are pretty old and fairly small. The RA's do their best to be interactive with their residents and make living there enjoyable.

Academic Rigor

The professors can be very strict but I've also had professors that are very easy going and make the learning environment a good one. You can't slack off and skip class or you will fall behind but most teachers are willing to help you if you go to them.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure every possible career choice has a major at Lock Haven. Don't be afraid to join clubs and intramural sports, it's one of the best ways to meet new people!

In three sentences

I chose Lock Haven because of the gorgeous scenery and friendliness of the staff and students. It is a smaller school but there are always opportunities to meet new people. The professors care a lot about you so don't waste their time or your time.

Lilmsmac from Philadelphia, PA

Campus is pretty safe, not much happened except a few minor things stolen and some unruly drunkards.

Greek Life

Its enough to chose from.

Clubs and Activities

A large variety to choose from.

Great for these types of students

Great for students that have the balance between partying and studying, I didn't and it gets lonely if you aren't very social.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Rush Week for sororities and fraternities.

Bang for the buck

Its an okay price, but I would suggest going to a cheaper school, but I went on a full scholarship. Its some classes that are not common in other schools like cadaver lab.

What to do for fun

The Safe haven plans a lot of events, there are a lot of groups, organizations, sororities and fraternities. Penn State is a near by party school. You can go into town and shop in the little stores and buy food.

Food and Dining

The food is buffet, whatever you want. Sometimes choices were slim, there is a cafe under the main dining hall where I ate the most, there is a Starbucks and Freshens and it was pretty cool. But the food get redundant.

Dorm Life

I was in Gross Hall and it was exactly that. The bathrooms were horrible. My first roommate was obnoxious and loud. I was with international students which was awesome. Someone stole my shampoo of all things. The kitchenette downstairs was always dirty, the laundry facilities were bright and clean.

Academic Rigor

The rigor really depends on the teacher and class. For me, economics was hard because the teacher was a butthead, biology and anatomy was difficult.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure you visit the campus and understand a school's strengths in certain majors.

In three sentences

I think this school is very rural, beautiful setting but there are parties and clubbing going on. I was not a party person but many students are. The cultural diversity office is very helpful and they were like my go to people for everything.

Jaden from Bovard, PA

They're super friendly, and helpful. I locked my keys in my car once and they helped me get them out! They also patrol regularly and are very good at keeping the place safe! \

Greek Life

I don't part take, but there's a ton of greek life.

Clubs and Activities

There's honestly a club for everything (join your major club)!

Great for these types of students

Everyone pretty much enjoys there major here!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

I tend to yanno, march to the beat of my own drum, so I really don't take part in much of the traditions. But there's greekweek and home coming and stuff like that going on.

Bang for the buck

My family isn't very financially set, so the fact that I could actually afford a college at all, was pretty uplifting.

What to do for fun

There's the rec center, and it's free. Go rock climb! If you're not so sporty there's the pub, which is full of video games and other activities and then there's coffee shops and stores in town to check out!

Food and Dining

Bently is the only dining choice really, there's a micky d's down the road, but nothing's open late. Get there early and you'll avoid the lines, but also you get sick of it pretty quickly too.

Dorm Life

I love my dorm, as well as my roommate. But, if you're going to be dorming with people you know, keep in mind you'll be with each other all the freaking time, better be someone who never gets dull. Also, others in the hall can be loud and annoying, get used to it, sometimes people aren't considerate.

Academic Rigor

While there are your core classes, which typically make you go insane, there are some gen ed's that make up for it. But, know that just because the class is easy, you shouldn't take it for granted, everything makes up your gpa!

Tips for prospective students

Get an umbrella Get rain boots Studying on the weekends may sound lame, but it's worth it Go to class, the I can make it up attitude will get you terrible grades

In three sentences

It's a good school, with many great professors as well as current students. It's been a good time there for me, and it's taught me a lot. I recommend this place to anyone (but, if you don't like rain, I wouldn't suggest).

Tyler

Leave my apartment doors and car doors unlocked all the time and have never had any problems with it (knock on wood).

Clubs and Activities

I run for the cross country team so this isn't my area of expertise, but it seems to me that there is a pretty eclectic collection of clubs. If there's something you like doing, there's probably a club for you here.

Great for these types of students

People who love to be outside.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

This is an area I wish I could elaborate more on, but Lock Haven doesn't have any special traditions I can think of.

Bang for the buck

For as cheap as in state tuition is, I feel I'm getting a pretty solid education that should prepare me for what I'm doing the rest of my life. I run cross country and am busy with running a lot, but when I have free time I fish in one of many local streams. I've hiked a lot and love the natural scenery, and like that in general the student body consists of people like me who don't feel entitled to anything and have to work for what they want.

What to do for fun

If you're looking for shopping malls or dance clubs, this is NOT the place for you. That being said, if you're an outdoorsy person that prefers hiking, fishing, hunting, mountain biking, etc. then Lock Haven has your name written all over it.

Food and Dining

The main cafeteria, Bentley, provides a pretty good variety of food that varies in quality, but most of the time you can find whatever your taste buds crave on any particular day. Other little places provide various food services, such as starbucks or mexican or pizza or burgers, etc. There are also a few smaller cafeterias located throughout campus.

Dorm Life

some dorms are nicer than others. The one I lived in was pretty standard, and was located on a silent study floor, so I did not meet too many people in my dorm.

Academic Rigor

The gen eds are pretty easy for the most part. The upper level course work is challenging and requires critical thinking, but it is nothing that a student who is interested in that subject shouldn't be able to handle.

Tips for prospective students

Don't be afraid to branch out and meet people. Be active, participate in extra-curricular activities because its the experiences and people you meet doing this that really sets apart a college experience that is ok and one that is great.

In three sentences

Lock Haven is a great small college with a friendly town, faculty, and solid education. It's surrounded by mountains which are both beautiful and provide for great outdoor opportunities when combined with the activites provided by the Susquehannah River. It is a very quaint college where mostly everyone is friendly.

Lots of sports clubs for fun, many groups in and outside of residence halls that plan activities for students.

Great for these types of students

Like to see familiar faces in multiple classes, small classrooms, always less than 100 students, mostly less than 30.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Have to cross the railroad track and go a few blocks down into town to one of the buildings, but the trolley will take you there.

Bang for the buck

If you live in PA, great value!

What to do for fun

Work out at the rec. center, bake cookies, go to the river, got to the Roxy theatre to see a movie, study, watch movies at the Price Auditorium once a month, magician/comedy shows occasionally, concerts for choir and band.

Food and Dining

Many places to eat on campus. Food variety is good, many meal plan options.

Dorm Life

I love the new suites, the other halls are older, but maintained well and not terrible. The ones on the hill take a while to get to, but there is a trolley service.

Academic Rigor

General Ed. requirements aren't as difficult as classes for my major, but you do have to study to get A's and B's.

Tips for prospective students

Studying is necessary to keep grades up, try to make friends in every class to study with, check out clubs to fill extra time. Lots of job opportunities if you look hard enough.

Lauren from Douglassville, PA

Lock Haven's campus is very safe! There is a yellow emergency box, that allows students to quickly call for help, located on most buildings, and a constant circulation of campus police.

Greek Life

The Greek Life on campus is great! Its like your own family, and I highly suggest it to students!

Clubs and Activities

The clubs and activities on campus are excellent! Lock haven offers 18 Division 1 & 2 Collegiate sports, and over 100 clubs. And if a couple of students want to start their own club the process is fairly easy!

Great for these types of students

Lock Haven is great for any student! Because there is such a wide variety of students on campus, the school adapts to all the differences amongst them. However the campus is quite rural, so i would not suggest this school to a city lover!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

One of the coolest places at Lock Haven, is the levy that runs along campus. It is a beautiful, well lit 5 mile walk way, that allows students to take a break from the hectic college life.

Bang for the buck

The price of Lock Haven is one of its greatest qualities! It offers the state school price, with more of a private school education. Lock Haven is one of the only Pennsylvania state schools that offers the accelerated 5 yr Physician Assistant Program, which is generally only available at private schools.

What to do for fun

Because there is not many thing to do in the town of Lock Haven, you must find the right group of people to have fun! With the right people, you can definitely have a good social life on campus.

Food and Dining

The food in the main dining hall is average, it is either very good, or really lacking. Fortunately Lock Haven offers many different food options across the campus, giving the food variety, and making it very accessible to students.

Dorm Life

The dorms on campus are average. They offer moderate living space, and limited accessories. However, after freshmen year, the options for living get much better!

Academic Rigor

The level of academic rigor is dependent on the major the student chooses. However, every teacher at Lock Haven expects a lot from each student, and pushes them to try their hardest! But no matter what, every student on campus can find help if they need it!

Tips for prospective students

My two best tips for Lock Haven prospective students is to make sure they are prepared for any weather, because it is always changing, and take advantage of every opportunity given to them on campus!

In three sentences

Lock Haven University is a small, welcoming college that provides many opportunities for its students. With its small classes, and excellent professors, Lock Haven is able to focus directly on each student and provide the best academic experience. Its loving atmosphere also allows students to have the best social experience while attending the university.

They have a club fair where you can walk around from booth to booth gathering information about every club and signing up for it if you so desire.

Some courses at Lock Haven came naturally to me and I passed them with ease; however, some courses were more challenging and I really had to try my best to excel.

Abigail from Alburtis, PA

On campus, a lot of kids go up to Hyner state park to view the beautiful scenery and also the coffee house Avenue 209 is great for open mike night or for a place to study off campus.

Bang for the buck

I think Lock Haven provided me with the most possible bang for the buck. The university education is great and the opportunities available is outrageous.

The food is delicious and there is definitely a variety. Bentley is really good compared other schools food I have tried.

What to do for fun

There are tons of activities going on that you can jump into and join. There are things like Zumba, basketball, etc. at the gym that are open to anyone. There are also a bunch of clubs that you can join based on your interests. All of the local restaurants are within a walking distance from campus and there is also a movie theater no too far away.

Food and Dining

Upper Bentley isn't too bad, it just wasn't my favorite. I really liked Lower Bentley though. There are tons of different options for whatever you want to eat that day.

Dorm Life

I stayed in Fairview Suites my first year there and I loved them. I stayed in a private-shared suite and it was nice because I had my own room and space but it was still nice to share and hangout with my roommate.

Academic Rigor

I love all of the professors within my major. They're all very willing to help me out with whatever I need and same goes for the other students.

Tips for prospective students

You'll love it here. It's not too big of a campus but it's not too small either. There's tons of dining options and lots of places to live your first year.

In three sentences

LHU is a great school. It is an extremely clean and organized campus. The professors are awesome and like to help the students out as much as they can (in my experience).

Anonymous

There were a few campus safety alerts at the beginning of the fall semester, but they were soon resolved. I never really feel threatened on campus.

Clubs and Activities

There are a lot of clubs on campus; you will probably definitely find one that appeals to you. They also have activities going on a lot of the time; they play movies a lot in the auditorium and they have a good amount of comedians/performers. They always e-mail you the activity schedule for the week, as well.

Food and Dining

I personally think the food is very good on campus. Compared to other schools around the area, we have a lot more options when it comes to places to eat. There are 5/6 different places that you can eat at on campus and two Starbucks.

Dorm Life

I don't personally live on campus, but judging from my friend's dorms/experiences I think that people are generally respectful of personal space and no one is really ever that loud.

Academic Rigor

I think the academics are fairly good for a school of this size. There are definately a lot of easy gen ed classes you can take, but I think that most of the programs are adequately challenging.

Tips for prospective students

Definitely figure out the trolley schedule if you have many classes on east campus. It can be a life saver in the cold winter months.

Campus Safety

Campus is really safe. Of course, it's never perfect, but I think it's as safe as it can get. The campus police are really nice and they're only looking out for you and your well-being, and I appreciate that. They're very good at their job!

Greek Life

There are many fraternities and sororities, all of which are very good. A lot of people on campus are part of the Greek life, and they enjoy it a lot. They're not extreme partiers like they're made out to be, and they look out for your well-being. It's like having your own on campus family, and that's a great feeling!

Clubs and Activities

I think as far as this goes, there is a lot to be a part of. We have many clubs to choose from, and the clubs are always holding events throughout the semester. The school holds a lot of events and activities, so you're never really bored.

Great for these types of students

If you enjoy a quiet atmosphere, I think Lock Haven is great for you. I know that I enjoy the fact that Lock Haven is located in a pretty small town. Even though we're limited in activities, it's still easy to have fun. It's also great for people who aren't really into partying and are more into studying.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

We're a pretty normal campus, I think. We hold rallies for different things each year. This year we held a rally called Take Back The Night for sexual assault victims and it was really great.

Bang for the buck

I think that for the cost of tuition, the education you receive is pretty good. It's a cheaper state school so some of the professors are really not the best, but you really do have some very good professors. I think overall, it's a very good school, especially for the Education and English departments.

What to do for fun

There isn't much to do on campus, but the university holds movies and other activities on campus for people to do so it's not boring at least! Off campus there is bowling, roller-skating, and a movie theater, among other things. It's a very small town though, so don't be expecting too much. It's usually very quiet on weekends. Dorms hold many activities throughout the year for you to make many friends as well.

Food and Dining

It could definitely use some work. The main cafeteria is pretty bland, but the other places to eat on campus have pretty good food, they just cost more to eat at. I wouldn't worry about the food so much though! We now have gluten free options and more vegetarian/vegan options, which is good.

Dorm Life

People can be loud, but as long as you get along with everyone and calmly ask them to quiet down when you're studying or trying to sleep, they tend to listen. Quiet hours are usually followed though. Rooms aren't too small, and the beds aren't very comfortable but I think that dorm life is definitely the way to go for at least the first two years!

Academic Rigor

It definitely depends on the professor, but I have learned a lot having been here the past two years. Some classes can be very easy to pass and others you have to work hard for but in the end, you learn a lot of valuable information.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure you check out the professors on ratemyprofessor before you take the class, because not every professor is good. Of course there are good professors, and then there are terrible ones. Ask them for help when you need it, most of them are more than willing to help you in any way they can.

In three sentences

Campus is small, but beautiful, especially in the spring and summer. It's quiet, but definitely not too quiet, if you know what I mean. It's very easy to make new friends as well.

Campus Safety

Officers constantly driving around day and night. Patrol campus and dorms at night. After 6 pm you must show ID to get into dorm and if you have a visitor they have to be signed in past 6pm until about 2am. After 6 most buildings are locked up expect for one door to each and you can't get into other residential halls with ID just where you live. Emergency telephone boxes are located on almost every building around campus.

Greek Life

About four different sorority groups and about the same for fraternities. Not a big hit here but they get involved a lot of campus and do a lot of events, fundraising and awareness.

Clubs and Activities

There is something for everyone to do. From airsoft club to college newspaper to poetry club to rugby there is something for everyone. Intramural sports are very popular on campus.

Great for these types of students

Outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, fishers, naturalists, city people who want to get away from the city.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Every year there is a event called a Regatta where there is boat racing on the river. There are lots of food vendors and activities along with fireworks.

Bang for the buck

Great education. Summer classes offered along with online classes and housing ties along good, too.

What to do for fun

River close to campus with river walk.Canoeing, fishing, running, etc. Little coffee shop downtown along with thrift stores and small movie theater. Restaurants and diners scattered everywhere. Shopping mall is about a half hour away. Student rec center is open to go to the gym and indoor pool. Pool tables, tennis courts, etc.

Food and Dining

Different options from made-to-order food and then a buffet style cafeteria. Cafeteria offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. options from stir fry, salads, sandwiches, soup, vegetarian, dessert, home style, etc. Starbucks on campus is a BIG plus. Little convenience shops in different campus buildings. Hours don't go very late for buffet style which closes before 8. But made-to-order is open until 11pm.

Dorm Life

Traditional dorms aren't bad if you don't mind sharing a community shower and bathroom with your floor. Floors are not co-ed. Majority of housing is traditional but campus is updating to suites. The current suites are nice with your own room and a shared bathroom with your roommate. However quite pricey for the what you get compared to other housing. Other options is housing like an apartment with a bedroom, living area, kitchen and bathroom. Traditional dorms are a little outdated but you make friends easily since it's like a community feeling.

Academic Rigor

Core, capstone, portfolios, internships etc. are all important for various majors. Without certain classes you will not graduate without them. Must maintain good grades to stay in school.

Tips for prospective students

If you want to go somewhere that is cheaper, a good education, and hands on experience look no further than Lock Haven University. And if you're a country person it's even better for you to go here.

In three sentences

I small rural University where students can get one-on-one help from their professors. Every major is a good major and have good programs. Easy to get around campus and there's always something to do.

What to do for fun

What to do for fun, well there a nice size student rec center for all kinds of recreational sports. (Basketball, Volleyball, Raquetball, Dodgeball etc.) There is also a nice Rock Climbing wall for you, if you are feeling a bit brave to climb.

Food and Dining

The food and dining area is in a great setting. There is a main cafe along with a few other buildings besides the main cafe to eat. With that comes a huge variety of foods to choose from. The prices are managable as well. Now your body will have to adjust to the college food but that is not a major problem. The main cafe has an all you can eat along wiht the lower cafe that has a choice of salads, pasta and nice burgers to go if in a rush for class or study time.

Dorm Life

The dorm life is great. the suites are outstanding, they come off a little expensive so the residence halls are good as well. Overall, students are willing to meet others. This is a good thing, expand the horizon. Become best of friends with your roommate and your floor friends as the next four or so years will be with those students.

Academic Rigor

Make the professors your best friend. Go to class and participate in class as the professor will see that you are willing to learn and expand the network of your knowledge. Professors are willing to help and drive you to the pathway for success. They are there for guidence and it all comes down to you as the studnet to pursue what you want to become.

Tips for prospective students

When living on campus meet and greet yourself to a lot of other students. It is a small university but the environment is huge. Get to know as much people within the university as possible. The greater the network, the better off you are as a student in Lock Haven.

In three sentences

Lock Haven is a nice small town that has a beautiful nature scenary during the different seasons. There is not much to do in the town itself but its what you make it out to be. Being small there are a lot of different cultures within the university which is a plus. The environment of Lock Haven itself is great and pleasant and the people are caring and helpful.
